This portion of the project involves engaging the public in the study process to provide information and obtain input. Meetings/workshops, surveys, and a website with a comment feature provide opportunities for the community, constituent groups, and local government agencies to participate and shape the study process. As meetings occur, the information provided from each meeting will be accessible in the Meeting Materials section below.

Meeting Materials

Meetings Types

Public Meetings

Public meetings are planned to disseminate information and provide input by encouraging broader community participation. Three public meetings are planned throughout the study process.

Community Advisory Committee Meetings (CAC)

The CAC is a committee of citizen volunteers that will provide advice and feedback to the project. The CAC is comprised of neighborhood leaders, business leaders, property owners and residents of the study area. Five CAC meetings are scheduled during the study.

District Advisory Board (DAB) Meetings

The study will use the DAB's (4, 5 and 6) created by the city of Wichita to provide an opportunity for participation regarding community issues and projects. The DAB meetings will be the primary method to introduce the study to the community and will assist in sponsoring the public meetings during the study.

Wichita Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (WAMPO)

WAMPO is the policy-making body for transportation planning in the Greater Wichita area. Their participation is important because the study relates to the greater metropolitan transportation network. Three WAMPO meetings are scheduled throughout the study process.

En Banc Meetings

The En Banc meetings will be used to provide information and receive feedback from the elected officials of Wichita and Sedgwick County. Three En Banc meetings are scheduled throughout the study process.

As the study progresses please refer to the "News" section on the left of the webpage for future meeting announcements. The schedule below provides a general timeframe for future meetings for the groups listed above.

District Advisory Board, Wichita Area Metropolitan Planning Organization, and En Banc meetings were held at the beginning of the process to introduce the public, regional transportation officials, and City and County elected officials to the project. Additional meetings with the Wichita Area Metropolitan Planning Organization and elected officials will be held throughout the process to provide periodic updates. The public will continue to participate in the process through the public meetings, sponsored by the District Advisory Boards.
